Sofia Lemos is a curator and writer. Her research interests lie at the intersection of art, metaphysics, and ecology, through a distinctive approach to public programs and exhibitions as a medium for collaborative knowledge production.

In 2020, she was Associate Curator at the 2nd Riga International Biennial of Contemporary Art – RIBOCA.

Previously, she curated performances, symposia, and exhibitions with Fraeme, Galeria Municipal do Porto, Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Serralves, and the Roberts Institute of Art (formerly operating as David Roberts Art Foundation), and has collaborated with Contour Biennale 8, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, PRAXES, and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona, among others.
